Wired: Episode Two

Ben’s (Sacha Dhawan) feeling the pressure as security is tightened at ZBG and informs Manesh that he thought he was going to get the sack after being called into see his manager, but was merely made into a permanent member of staff.
After studying her on CCTV footage, Harry Wallingford (Will Keen), Head of Internet Fraud, wants to arrest Louise (Jodie Whittaker), but Crawford (Toby Stephens) stops him. He has the transcript of a call from a ZBG employee at Canary Wharf, saying he is being threatened into committing fraud. Crawford convinces Harry that Louise is small fry, and that they could use her to lead them to the big fish.
Crawford visits Louise’s flat and finds extremely loud music coming from inside. Louise’s neighbour tells him that it’s been like this for a couple of hours. Crawford manages to calm Louise down and they talk about Anna’s death. They end up kissing and, against Crawford’s better judgement, they spend the night together. While Crawford sleeps, Louise goes through his wallet and writes down his bank account details. The next morning Crawford awkwardly kisses Louise goodbye, aware that he has just made a serious error in sleeping with a witness.
Back at work, Louise is still in a bit of a state, and Mart (Jason Watkins) offers to give someone else the Lewis Stone files if it’s too much for her but she assures him she wants to do it. In a quiet moment, she looks up Crawford’s bank account details and is shocked to discover that he’s a policeman.
Harry goes to see Crawford to tell him that Louise has been checking up on someone’s bank account details – Crawford’s. Louise is shocked when Crawford turns up at Anna’s funeral, and tells her to work with the police to bring Phillip down. Hugh Borne (Michael Maloney) goes to see Phillip to warn him that Louise has gone to the police, but Manesh gets to him first and orders him to bring in Louise. Hugh hi-jacks Louise form work and takes her to Manesh’s curry house. She manages to contact Crawford and let him know she’s in trouble.
Inside, Manesh threatens Louise with a knife. Crawford and his partner Nick keep watch outside but Crawford decides that it’s not safe to go in without backup. Louise is ejected back onto the Street with wounds behind her ears, and falls into Crawford’s arms.
